Washington, D. C. 

By A. E. Seymour, Secretary 
Washington Chamber of Commerce 




ORE than 120 years ago Washington became the permanent seat of the 
Government of the United States. Its founders planned to lay broad 
and deep the foundations of the republic which is to endure while time 
lasts ; to build a city beautiful and delightful to reside in, the future seat 
of learning, of art, of diplomacy of world politics; but we can not 
believe they had in mind a country and a city such as exists today. 

When the act was passed making the city of Washington the Capital of the 
Nation, no one had ever seen a steamboat, a railroad, an iron plow, or a friction 
match, or thought of an electric telegraph, or telephone, or dreamed of an auto- 
mobile or the sending of wireless messages. It was thirty years after the Capital 
was established before the first railroad was built. 

Call to mind the wonderful development of our country. Our population has 
increased from about 5,000,000 to nearly 110,000,000. Our wealth as a nation has 
enhanced to more than $250,000,000,000, making us by far the richest in the world. 
Products of our mines and manufactures exceed those of any other land or people. 
Our laboring classes are blessed with more comforts and with fairer prospects for 
themselves and their children than ever elsewhere have existed. The number of 
States has increased from 16 to 48, and the people have multiplied twenty-two fold. 
Our territory has grown from 900,000 square miles in 1800 to over 3,500,000 square 
miles. Along the lines of invention and progress which ultimately affect the life 
and civilization of the world, triumphs have been achieved and wonders accom- 
plished, the equal, if not the superior, of all the former centuries combined. 

Washington has grown from 8,000 population in 1800 to nearly a half million 
in 1922. From a straggling village it has grown into a great metropolitan city, 
with beautiful homes, magnificent public buildings, wide avenues, splendid drives 
and parks. 

This is the Nation's city! In this city we receive the official representatives of 
every civilized nation upon the earth; men in high standing in the political and 
social life of the nations they represent. To meet these representatives and see the 
Capital City, the most distinguished people from every land are almost daily visitors. 

Here are the rulers of the Nation, those who make and those who interpret and 
those who execute the laws. Here are the great departments where the Nation's 
affairs are transacted; where public policy, internal and foreign, is determined, 
and the national progress is guided. Where, then, so much as here, can the stranger 
expect to find so excellent a representation of our people, of our institutions, and 
of those arts which are the measure of a nation's wealth and civilization? 



8 GREETERS'GUIDE 

No title which can be applied to the National Capital is more appropriate, 
more truly descriptive than the one — "Washington, the City Beautiful." Its growth 
in beauty has kept pace with its growth in population, in importance, in political 
leadership. The Capital of the Republic is the city unique and beautiful. Other 
nations have fixed their capitals in the crowded urban centers of commerce, and 
they possess the splendors that opulence has gathered round them. Our Capital, 
like our Nation, was made to subserve a principle, and it has grown up in the midst 
of the mementos and associations of the principle which it represents. 

In the paved streets and avenues decorated with homes and churches which are 
the triumphs of architecture; in the open areas bright with flowers and fountains; 
in the circles and parks adorned with statuary and monuments of our heroes on 
land and sea, of men of science and letters, of our statesmen and jurists; in the 
thousands of stately trees which adorn its streets; in its substantial business houses 
and the long succession of splendid public buildings; in its schools, colleges, univer- 
sities, galleries, and museums; in the great monument to the "Father of His 
Country"; in the Capitol, already the noblest structure in the world, yet destined 
to be fairer within and grander without; in that magnificent memorial building 
erected in tribute to our martyred President — in all these crowning glories our 
countrymen acclaim Washington as their Mecca. 

Washington has more than 6,000 acres in public parks and reservations, and in 
the magnificence of its shade trees it stands alone — unique — among American cities. 
Nearly 110,000 beautiful and splendid trees are planted along the curbs in the 
streets of our city. 

Washington, the city beautiful — we cherish it not alone for its physical beauty, 
but for the beauty of its historic associations which stir American pride, and the 
beautiful memories of the wise and valiant who have made it the Great American 
City. 

THE CAPITOL 

The Capitol is located on what is known as Capitol Hill, about one and a half 
miles from the White House. Upon arrival in Washington, the building can be 
seen directly in front of the Union Station, about three blocks away. For the 
benefit of the general public the Capitol is open to visitors from 9 A. M. to, 4.30 
P, M. Competent, authorized guides are in attendance during these hours, who, 
for a nominal fee, will conduct visitors through and explain all points of interest 
to sightseers. It is to your advantage to use these guides. 

The central building was constructed of Virginia sandstone, painted white, the 
cornerstone laid by President Washington, September 18, 1793. There are 24 columns 
of Maryland sandstone, 30 feet high, in the grand central portico. The extensions 
of the Capitol are made of Massachusetts marble. The columns of the extensions 
are made of Maryland marble. The central building was completed in 1827; the 
wings of the central building were completed in 1811, and were partially burned 
in 1814 by the British. The cornerstone of the extension was laid in 1851 by 
President Fillmore. The extension was completed and occupied by Congress in 
1857 and 1859. 

How to See the Capitol 

A good program for seeing the Capitol is to begin at the rotunda, then visit 
in succession the Hall of Statuary, the House and committee rooms, the Supreme 
Court, the Senate and committee I'ooms and the west portico.

THE NEW WILLARD 

WASHINGTON, D. C. 

LIFE in Washington, D. C, is filled 
.with action, color and the excite- 
ment of world transactions. The 
New Willard is in the midst of this 
eventful life — a step from the Capitol. 
It presents in its dining rooms and 
lou^ ges a picture of international bril- 
liancy and in its sleeping apartments, 
the quiet comfort which is so necessary. 

The New Willard embodies also a spirit of 
hospitality which emphasizes the personal at- 
tention to each guest. It is Washington's 
great hotel.

La Salle. Above the doors are sculptures of the landing of the Pilgrims, William 
Penn's conference with the Indians, Pocahontas rescuing Capt. John Smith, and 
Daniel Boone in conflict with the Indians. 

The rotunda frieze, 65 feet above the floor, makes a circle of 300 feet around 
the walls, illustrating important periods of history in America. 

The canopy is 180 feet above the rotunda floor and is 65 feet in diameter. The 
canopy was painted by Bnamidi, portraying the Apotheosis of Washington. Just 
below the canopy, the whispering gallery. Two persons standing on opposite sides, 
65 feet apart, may distinctly hear one another's whisper. 

In the rotunda of the Capitol is where the Inauguration ceremonies are held. 
It is one of the most impressive and brilliant affairs. 

The National Statuary Hall 

The National Statuary Hall was formerly the Hall of Representatives. The 
statues in the hall are of: Roger Williams and Nathaniel Greene, of Rhode Island; 
Samuel Adams, of Massachusetts; Ethan Allen, of Vermont; Stephen F. Austin, of 
Texas; Thomas Hart Benton, of Missouri; F. P. Blair, of Missouri; Charles Carroll, 
of Maryland; John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina; Lewis Cass, of Michigan; George

Elizabeth Willard, of Illinois; John Winthrop, of Massachusetts; Jonathan Trumbull, 
of Connecticut; Zebulon B. Vance, of North Carolina; Lew Wallace, of Indiana; and 
George Washington, of Virginia. 

Acoustics: The hall has some extraordinary acoustic properties. These pecu- 
liarities were a source of great trouble in days gone by but are now demonstrated 
by the guides, much to the amusement of visitors. 

The Halt of Representatives 

The Speaker's desk is of chiseled white marble and occupies an elevated position 
in the center of the south side. In front of the Speaker's desk are the desks of the

The seats of the Senators and Representatives are arranged in a semicircle. 
On the desk of each Senator and Representative is a silver plate with the occupant's 
name engraved upon it. On either side of the Speaker's desk are full-length por- 
traits of Washington and LaFayette. These paintings were presented by LaFayette. 

Over the main entrance is the famous clock, whose hands are turned back, when 
necessary, on the last day of Congress, so that the hour of adjournment may not 
be marked before the business of the House is completed. 

Opening off from the hall back of the Speaker's desk are the House lobby and 
the members' retiring room. On the walls of these rooms will be found paintings 
of foiTner Speakers. 

Facing the east stairway is a marble statue of Thomas Jefferson. On the 
first landing a picture of "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation" before 
the Cabinet, Sept. 22, 1862. Here are many portraits of famous men of history. 

At the foot of the west stairway is a bronze bust of Chippewa, Chief Be-She-Ke. 
Also paintings of historical interest. 

Committee Rooms 

The committee rooms opening off from the House corridors are: The Ways 
and Means room, the Appropriation rooms and the Military Affairs room. In the 
basement are the Territories room, Indian Affairs room and Agricultural room. 

The Supreme Court room is patterned after a Greek model. The chair of the 
Chief Justice is in the center, with those of the eight associates on either side. 
Outside of the space reserved for council are seats for spectators. Ranged about the 
walls is a series of busts of the former Chief Justices. The Senate Chamber is 113 
feet long by 82 feet wide, surrounded by galleries which are used for spectators. 
The President (Vice-President of the United States) presides over the Senate; to 
his right is the chair of the Sergeant at Arms. To the left of the President is the 
chair of the Assistant Doorkeeper. The walls are decorated in gold arabesques and 
the ceiling is filled with symbols of War, Peace, Union, Progress, the Arts, Sciences 
and Industries. Around the walls are marble busts of the former Presidents of the 
Senate. In the main corridors are paintings of Washington and Adams, Patrick 
Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, Charles 
Summer, and W. B. Allison. The seventeen stars on the mahogany hall clock rep- 
resent the original seventeen States. This clock has been in the Capitol since 1802. 

The Senators' reception room is known as the Marble room, it being constructed 
entirely of that material. 

The Vice-President's room is used by him when presiding over the Senate and 
such other occasions that are necessary. 

The President's room is for the use of the President of the United States on 
his visits to the Capitol. It is decorated with portraits of President Wahington 
and his first cabinet, Knox, Randolph and Osgood. There is also a bronze bust of 
McKinley. 

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 

The Libraiy of Congress is directly opposite, and the grounds adjoin the 
United States Capitol. The Library building faces west on First Street, and the 
outer walls have a frontage upon four streets (First, East Capitol, Second and B 
Streets). The grounds and residences upon them cost $585,000. The building was 
completed in 1897. The net cost, exclusive of site, was $6,032,124.54. The original

architectural plans were prepared bj^ the firm of Smithmeyer & Pelz, but were 
later modified by Edward Pearee Casey. 

The building is of tlie Italian Renaissance order of architecture; it has three 
stories and a dome and is in area 470 by 340 feet, covering nearly three and one- 
half acres of ground, with four large inner courts 150 by 75 to 100 feet and nearly 
2,000 windows, which make it the best lighted library in the world. 

The building consists of a great central rotimda, which is used as the reading 
room, from which radiate book stacks and which is inclosed in a parallelogram of 
galleries and pavilions. The building material used for tlie exterior walls is white 
granite from New Hampshire and for the inner courts Maryland granite and white 
enameled bricks. 

On the ground floor are the copy-right oflJice, reading room for the blind and 
superintendent's office. The first floor contains the reading room, the Librarian's

tion of engravings and other collections, including rare books, first editions and 
portraits of the Presidents of the United States and other notable people. 

The dome is finished in black copper with panels gilded with a thick coating 
of gold leaf. The cresting of the dome above the lantern, 195 feet from the ground, 
terminates in a gilded finial, representing the torch of Science, ever burning. 

All of the windows of the comer pavilion and of the west facade have carved 
heads representing the several races of men. 

The bronze fountain by Hinton Perry represents the court of Neptune, with 
tritons, sea horses, sea nymphs, frogs, serpents and turtles. 

The Library of Congress is open to visitors on week days from 9 A. M. to 10

THE WHITE HOUSE 

The home of the President of the United States is located on Pennsylvania 
Avenue Northwest at Sixteenth Street, immediately adjoining the Treasury and 
the State, War and Navy Buildings. Upon viewing the White House, visitors are 
immediately impressed with the simplicity and stately dignity of the entire building. 
If viewed from Pennsylvania Avenue one sees but a few columns of the portico, 
as the view is obstructed by the magnificent trees that almost entirely surround the 
building. That the White House is becoming as the home of the President of the 
United States is evident both from situation, character and surroundings. 

The building is constructed of Virginia freestone; it is 170 feet in length, 86 
feet in depth and consists of a rustic basement, two stories and an attic, the whole 
surmounted by an ornamental balustrade. The north front has a portico of lofty 
Ionic columns, forming a porte cochere and the south a colonnaded balcony. 

It was the first public building erected as the new seat of government. The 
architect was James Hoban. George Washington selected the site and laid the 
cornerstone October 13, 1792, and lived to see the building completed. It has been 
said that in company with his wife he inspected the entire structure but a few days 
before his death. 

The house was fired by the British troops during Madison's administration in 
1814 and only the four Avails were left standing. In order to obliterate the marks 
of fire the stone was painted white and since that time the Executive Mansion has 
been known as the White House. During 1902-03 alterations and additions were 
made and now an esplanade leads to the new Executive Olfices which immediately 
adjoin the White House proper, while the public entrance is through a colonnade 
on the east. 

The more well known rooms of the W^hite House are the East Room or State 
Parlor, where the receptions are held; the Blue Room, which is used as the Pi-esi- 
dent's Reception Room; the Green Room and the Red Room. The State Dining 
Room is also an interesting place to see, as in this room are held the three official 
functions of the year in diplomatic Washington, namely, the dinner to the Diplo- 
matic Corps, the Cabinet dinner and the dinner to the Supreme Court of the United 
States. 

To the south of the White House is a beautiful lawn upon the slopes of which 
the children of Washington repair for their egg rolling on Easter Monday. 

Visitors may secure entrance to the most interesting parts of the White House 
daily except Sunday from 10 A. M. to 2 P. M. 

STATE, WAR AND NAVY BUILDING 

This beautiful building is situated at Pennsylvania Avenue and Seventeenth

THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK 

The National Zoological Park is situated in Rock Creek Park, a wonderful 
reservation in Northwest Washington. Here is quartered a large collection of 
living animals, most of which are caged, in as nearly as possible their natural state. 
The Park was originally established for the purpose of breeding and caring for a 
large number of animals, both American and foreign, that were rapidly becoming 
extinct. Later, however, the public manifested such interest in the work that it 
developed into the magnificent exhibition park that it now is. 

It is maintained as a part of the Smithsonian Institution, and of course the 
same work of preserving breeds of animals which are dying out, is still being- 
conducted. Well heated buildings have been built for quartering those animals used 
to tropical temperatures during the winter months. 

Running through the Zoological Park is a branch of Rock Creek. Along this 
are the Water Fowl, Nutria, Beaver, Seal, etc., in a most interesting setting. Along 
the crest of the little valley which the stream has formed, the bears are placed. 
Their dens are blasted out of solid rock and made into the finest examples of their 
kind in the country. In the more wooded sections of the reservations are placed 
the Deer, Antelope, Llamas, etc. A visit to this wonderful exhibition of animals will 
prove most fascinating and educational. 

THE NATIONAL MUSEUM 

The main building, known as the "New National Museum," is situated on the 
Mall between 7th and 12th Streets, and is a magnificent structure, four stories in 
height. It was erected at a cost of about $3,500,000. 

It contains a large Natural History collection, including the famous Roosevelt 
animals, the National Gallery of Art, an immense exhibit of the Great War (includ- 
ing the uniforms and equipment of the fighting nations, original war posters and 
paintings) and many educational and interesting doposits for the intelligent visitor. 

The other building, which is known as the "Old National Museum," contains 
Antiquarian and "evolution" exhibits. Here one may study the history of Our 
Country practically without the use of text books. The collections of uniforms, 
personal equipment, documents, etc., of America's great men are most complete. 
There are also deposited exhibits of the evolution of the steamboat, clock, aeroplane, 
locomotive, telephone and telegraph, rifle, camera, etc., from practically the first 
one to be made up to modern models. 

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 

This Institution was established by statute in 1846 under the terms of the will 
of Sir James Smithson, who bequeathed his fortune to the United States in 1826 to 
found an Institution "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." 

The Institution maintains a library composed mostly of works on Ethnology 
and Etymology, records of learned Societies, etc., which numbers over 300,000 
volumes. The building is situated on the Mall near the National Museum, and is 
architecturally of the Renaissance period. Aside from the Library there are many 
things contained there in which are of interest to the visitor, among which are 
exhibits of the art of printing, bookbinding, etc. 

The National Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the International Ex- 
change Service, the Bureau of American Ethnology, the National Zoological Park, 
the Astrophysical Observatory, all come under the jurisdiction of this Institution.

THE COKCORAN GALLERY OF ART 

THE CORCORAN GALLERY OF ART 

William Wilson Corcoran, a wealthy Washingtonian, decided early in life that 
at least one-half of his financial accumulations should be used solely for the purpose 
of encouraging American genius in the production and presentation of works per- 
taining to the Fine Arts and kindi'ed subjects. Thus, the Corcoran Gallery of Art 
has its existence through the altruism of this useful citizen, and it is not a part of 
the Government, as is sometimes thought. Its trustees, however, are given a place 
in the Congi-essional Directory. 

This splendid gallery is located on 17th Street and New York Avenue, facing 
the grounds of the Executive mansion. The building was designed by the famous 
Ernest Flagg, of New York. The collections are estimated to be worth over 
$1,500,000 and are particularly representative of American artists. In addition the 
Gallery has examples of French, Dutch, English and other schools. The sculptures 
include casts from Antique works and the Renaissance, and modern works. There 
are originals in both marble and bronze. There are over one hundred original 
bronzes by Antoine-Louis Barye. 

In addition to the work of collecting and exhibiting the works of Art, there is 
an excellent school of Fine Arts conducted in the Corcoran building. For infor- 
mation concerning Copying, Studying, etc., apply to the Principal of the Art School.

THE WASHINGTON CITY CLUB 




1310 TO 1320 G STREET NOK'l'HVVKST 



The Washington City Club, located in the heart of the downtown business, 
hotel and theatre district, is the representative club of the Capital, its membership 
including nearly every local business and professional man of standing, as well as 
a considerable number of Government officials. Congressmen and representatives 
of National organizations making their headquarters here. It also has a large 
non-resident list of members who visit Washington frequently. 

The club's functions are both civic and social. Its civic aspects are represented 
by its "public-affairs groups" or committees, which address themselves to local 
problems; and by its open forum — probably the best known in America — where 
addresses are given each week by leaders of National and International affairs. 

The facilities of the club's new home — opened January 14, 1922, and the finest 
City Club building in the country — comprise its social features. With 60,000 square 
feet of floor surface, practically all adjuncts of the best social clubs are available. 
Wives of members have almost the same privileges as the members.

THE WASHINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 

The Washington Chamber of Commerce is recognized as the great commercial 
and civic organization of the District of Columbia. It is a healthy, prosperous and 
rapidly growing organization. Its membership is made up of the leading business 
and professional men and women of the National Capital. Its constitution declares 
its purposes to be as follows: "Our aim is to promote the general welfare of the 
citizens of the District of Columbia, and to advance their business interests by the 
exercise of concerted thought and activity; to promote and nurture commercial and 
manufacturing enterprises; to bring the business men of Washington into more 
frendly intercourse and closer relationship." 

The qualifications for membership are as follows: "Any reputable person in- 
terested in the general welfare of the District of Columbia shall be eligible to 
membership. Any firm or corporation may become a member, designating some 
partner or member to represent it. 

The Chamber is rapidly growing in numbers and influence. It is earnestly en- 
gaged in all activities for the betterment of Washington. It has always been a 
consistent and earnest support of the movement which is about to give the city a 
convenient and commodious Convention Hall. It is closely affiliated with the 
Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and, through its Secretary, with the 
National Association of Commercial Organization Secretaries, thus keeping closely 
in touch with all civic and commercial activities not only in Washington but 
elsewhere. 



THE M. &, M. ASSOCIATION 

The cosmopolitan character of the National Capital is further emphasized in 
its great retail, jobbing and manufacturing interests. 

Washington particularly prides itself on the stability and alertness of its retail 
business houses. 

Great department and specialty stores for every line house stocks of merchan- 
dise that will not only meet every requirement of the visitor during their stay, but 
provide numberless things suitable for gifts, as well as more substantial things. 

It is a commonly accepted fact that any- 
thing from Washington, the Nation's Capital, 
is received with pleasure. 

The great business interests of Wash- 
ington, as such, find their rallying point in the 
Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association, 
whose offices are in Suite 400, The Evening 
Star Building, 11th Street and Pennsylvania 
avenue N. W., telephone. Main 4161. 

It is not only the desire, but the function 
of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Asso- 
ciation to direct and develop trade extension 
for Washington, but to do it on a basis that 
will, for all time, mark Washington — as is 
the case today — as a market place where con- 
fidence is never broken. 

Visitors desiring information on the trade 
channels of Washington, the Nation's Capital, 
are invited to address the Merchants' and

THE WASHINGTON BOARD OF TRADE 

In all elTorts looking to the welfare and de- 
velopment of the District of Columbia and of 
Washington as a city befitting the Capital of the 
country, the Washington Board of Trade has for 
many years borne an important part and the bene- 
fits resulting from its deliberations and effective 
policies have passed into local and national history. 
As a result of the unique fonn of government 
of the District of Columbia and of the fact that it 
has no direct representatives in Congress, the 
Board has been recognized by Congress and also by 
the Board of District Commissioners as voicing pub- 
lic opinion upon matters concerning the essential 
needs of the District and its citizens from municipal 
and national standpoints. 

In this organization has been met the long recog- 
nized need of a properly constituted body of repre- 
sentatives and public spirited citizens from all parts 
of the District, of eveiy business and profession, un- 
selfishly interested in the health, prosperity and advancement of the National Capital. 
Among the things toM^ard which the Board has bent its efforts are: 
Abolition of grade crossings and placing overhead wires underground; comple- 
tion of the sewerage and sewage disposal systems; widening and deepening the 
channel of the river; reclamation of the Anacostia Flats;, preparation and enact- 
ment of the Code of Law for the District; furthering the Park Commission Plans 
for the future development and beautification of Washington; increase and filtra- 
tion of our water supply; fire-proof buildings for public schools and approval of 
the maintenance of National Guards throughout the country. 

The Board is also constantly interested in maintaining the proper and lawful 
status of the District in its financial relations with the Federal Government. 

Being the Capital City of the greatest nation in the world, Washington with 
its many points of historic interest, Government buildings, and beautiful and pic- 
turesque parks and driveways, is second to none as a Convention City. The Wash- 
ington Board of Trade extends to all a most cordial invitation to "Come to Wash- 
ington, The City Beautiful, Your Capital."
